Materials You Will Need

- Scissors
- Glue or double-sided tape
- Markers or pens

Step 1: Decide on a Design
Before you start making your Christmas place cards, take a moment to think about the overall theme or design you want to achieve. Whether it’s traditional, rustic, or modern, having a vision will help guide your creative process.
Step 2: Cut and Fold the Paper
Take your cardstock or thick paper and cut it into rectangles, each measuring around 4×6 inches. If you prefer smaller place cards, adjust the size accordingly. Once you have your rectangles, fold each one in half vertically, creating a tent-like shape.
Step 3: Decorate the Front
This is where you can let your creativity shine! Use markers or pens to write your guests’ names on the front of each place card. You can play around with different fonts or add decorative elements like holly leaves, snowflakes, or Christmas trees. If you want, you can also use stickers, glitter, or other embellishments to make your place cards even more festive.
Step 4: Personalize the Inside
Open up each place card and write a personal message for each guest on the inside. It can be as simple as a heartfelt “Merry Christmas” or a longer message expressing your appreciation for their presence. This personal touch will make your guests feel special and loved.
Step 5: Attach Ribbon or Twine
To add a finishing touch to your Christmas place cards, cut small pieces of ribbon or twine. Then, fold them in half and glue or tape the ends to the top, backside of each place card. This will create a loop that can be used to stand the place card upright on the table.
Step 6: Display and Enjoy!
Once you have completed all the steps, place your beautifully crafted Christmas place cards on each table setting. You can arrange them on plates, napkins, or even attach them to holiday-themed favors for your guests to take home.
Now that you know how to make Christmas place cards, it’s time to unleash your creativity and spread the holiday cheer to your guests. Enjoy the process and have a wonderful Christmas celebration filled with love, joy, and personalized details!
